[QUOTE="IntenselyOrange, post: 1175897, member: 4888"] I only watched the second half today. But, I think there have been some adjustments made at least offensively. I saw them pass the ball inside a couple of times, and I saw a couple of attempted back door cuts. These plays did not work, but at least there was some occasional variation from the Nunn/Hill 1-on-1 show. Defensively, we're terrible. The effort is poor, and even when there is effort, we lack ability. It's hard to see how it gets any better in the immediate future. Because we can't defend the ball, we can't chase guys out on the 3-point line or they'll get to the rim, where we lack interior rotations. I'll watch the games this year, but to echo what others have said, I'm completely checked out emotionally. I have been since last year's team mailed it in. Lastly, that 98 team was far better to watch. There was promise. We had only two upperclassmen on that team - Cleotis Brown and Victor Chukwudebe. And we were coming off a Conference Championship, not a meltdown. And we had Frankie coming in. The situations are not even remotely comparable. [/QUOTE]
